From the Back Cover
Whether you hunt squirrels, varmints, or predators, the fact is that when you take a trophy small game animal, you'll want to preserve it forever. Instead of having a professional taxidermist handle your game animal, you can do it yourself. Not only will you save money, but you'll have the satisfaction of crafting your own mount: with base, background, and everything else associated with it.
Drawing on generations of experience, author Todd Triplett covers all aspects of the art of taxidermy. From proper field care and tanning to crafting life-size mounts, this book will help any individual.
